Reg,

Freedom from religion and freedom of religion are both constitutionally protected, not just by the First Amendment, but by the all-too-neglected Ninth Amendment, which states:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

In other words, individual rights…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!

Have a great week everyone!

“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.”

Terry Pratchett.

When the common knowledge in your locale is that satanist Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton ingest the blood of children, Trans people are forcing sex change operations on adolescents and every Democratic is a communist ‘libtard’ controlled by the ‘deep state’ that will tend to ‘woke me up’. If I  lived in a liberal region perhaps I  would still be c…[Read more]

Reg and Strega,

You two could have been Jay Ward’s top groaner-pun writers, especially for his characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman.  😁

(Sometimes they are called Mr. Peabody and His Boy Sherman, but, even for the “woke,” that is just multiple-smooth levels of wrongness. 🤡🤣)

Fellow Unbelievers,

Man, what a difference a few days makes!  Where do I start with this thread? 😕😁

If it’s any solace, Kristina, if I were an entrepreneur, I wouldn’t have time to shut down or be shut down on a forum or platform.  My business would be open to any paying customer or to a niche market that has nothing to do with immutable t…[Read more]

I’ve got nothing to say that I haven’t said 9 times already.  I shake your hand Kristina.

On the issues of equity, equality and human rights, the general population. That’s where it starts. I’ve already been over this. Did you think the stuff I was talking about in my first post was from the extreme right? It’s not. It’s prevalent in the general population.

But two wrongs don’t make a…[Read more]

Kristina – that’s fine, and I do take a responsibility to educate myself about marginalised groups and their difficulties.

Do you? You said it took you 3-4 years to come around to ideas that I flat out swear to you were presented reasonably by other activists that were not that difficult to search out. On nearly every iss…[Read more]

I don’t have to explain to you why I wasn’t “woke” enough.  If an idea doesn’t have credibility, I’m not going to be attracted to it.

Kristina – that’s fine, and I do take a responsibility to educate myself about marginalised groups and their difficulties.  But if someone’s acting like a silly arse, while trying to tell everyone they have problems – people aren’t going to believe they have problems.  That’s the way people are.  It’s not morally wrong.  It just is.  Ther…[Read more]

They may or may not be outliers.  I can understand people making a fuss about things.  But it depends how they do it.  These outliers love trouble.  Sometimes it just turns off the people they’re presumably hoping to convert.

Simon it seems to me that you are being as ridiculously over-outraged over the very over-outrage you are criticising.

Hey Kristina  – “This post has now been featured” 🙂 🙂

Plus what Strega said.

No, I’m saying I’ve seen it happen as a persistent activism style.

What does that have to do with being woke, specifically? I told you flat out, on the other end I have personally been through that and far worse. I don’t use that as an excuse to shut down all conversation.

If somebody is screaming into somebody’s face, metap…
